Army of Two: The Devils Cartel dated, pre-order bonuses detailed

EA has announced the release date for Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel, the next installment in the Army of Two co-operative action series. The publisher also revealed specific bonus content for those gamers who pre-order the game.

If you pre-order the game you’ll receive the exclusive Overkill Edition which includes three bonus contracts as well as more weapons and gear. The contracts challenge players to “kill enemies and cause environment destruction to earn enough points to continuously stay in Overkill while making their way to the extraction point.”

“With Army of TWO The Devil’s Cartel we wanted to take the series in a new direction while also leveraging the aspects that made the first two Army of TWO games unique,” said Julian Beak, Executive Producer, Visceral Games. “We knew coming out of the gate that meaningful co-op gameplay, customization and over-the-top action would be key pillars for us, and we’re bringing these elements to the next level by presenting them in a setting that is more serious in order to dial up the intensity.”

Army of Two: The Devil’s Cartel will be available on 26 March in North America and on 29 March in Europe for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.
